Post-LTTE Sri Lanka
Over the last 30 years or more, Sri Lanka has been one of the principal trouble spots of South and South East Asia, with successive governments of Sri Lanka confronting a powerful challenge from the separatist and terrorist LTTE. In mid-May 2009 the Sri Lankan armed forces inflicted a decisive defeat on the LTTE. Sri Lanka now faces the daunting challenge of absorbing the territories once controlled by the LTTE and fashioning a reconciliation bet…

Sri Lanka's Prolonged Ethnic Conflict
Negotiations to resolve Sri Lanka's prolonged and deep-rooted ethnic conflict have a long history. The negotiations fall into two categories: those conducted locally between parties to the dispute, and those negotiated with the presence and under the auspices of a regional power, India in this instance. There have been several sets of negotiations of the first category, none of them successful. The Indian mediation in Sri Lanka's ethnic conflict …

The 100th anniversary of the birth of S. W. R. D. Bandaranaike, Sri Lanka's fourth Prime Minister after independence, fell on 8 January 1999. The centenary of his birth occurred 40 years after his death, in 1959, at the hands of an assassin. During the 40 years between his assassination and the celebration of the centenary of his birth the Sri Lanka Freedom Party, which he founded in 1951, has been in power for 15 years, generally as the core of …
Sri Lanka
The objective of this study is to consider the security aspect of Sri Lanka in historical perspective and in the context of its neighbors. The security aspect is also discussed in the light of ethnic conflict. Small states like Sri Lanka need new and multi‐dimensional approaches to old practices especially when a country's very survival is at stake. Lacking a militarily adequate physical size and an ability for flexible defense, a small state has…
Electoral Systems
The general tendency to view the debate on electoral systems as part of the problem of good governance diverts attention from two interrelated issues. First of all, despite the contemporary prevalence of universal suffrage as an essential aspect of democratic government, its comparatively recent origin is often ignored. Second, in all societies electoral systems of some sort, but with the franchise limited by education, income and gender, if not …

Sri Lanka: Surviving Ethnic Strife K.M. de Silva (bio) When Sri Lanka—or Ceylon, as it was then called—gained its independence from Britain in 1947–48, it was hailed as the “model colony” that had negotiated a peaceful passage out of colonial rule in a region still suffering from the shock of the bloody partition of India and Pakistan and the civil war in Burma. Today, this 66,000-square-kilometer island just 40 miles off the southeastern tip of …

A History of Sri Lanka
This book presents the history of Sri Lanka from the earliest times to the present. Sri Lanka is an ancient civilization, shaped and thrust into the modern globalizing world by its colonial experience. With its own unique problems, many of them historical legacies, it is a nation trying to maintain a democratic, pluralistic state structure while struggling to come to terms with separatist aspirations. This is a complex story, and there is perhaps…

The Third Earl Grey and the Maintenance of an Imperial Policy on the Sale of Crown Lands in Ceylon, c. 1832–1852
Among the cardinal weaknesses of existing studies on British land policy in Ceylon is the almost total neglect of any reference to the theoretical foundations of this policy, and the tendency to study the situation in Ceylon in isolation instead of against the background and within the wider context of a colonial land policy. These weaknesses are all the more glaring for the years from c. 1830 to 1855 when a common land policy was gradually but s…
